I examine the relative information roles among West Texas Intermediate spot crude price and four futures contracts (F1 through F4) with different maturities. Using a cointegrated system with a non-unitary cointegrating vector, I address price discovery by investigating which price is more...

This paper proposes a new information share for price discovery based on Russell's (1999) autoregressive conditional intensity model. While previous studies rely on equally spaced high frequency data, we use the information conveyed by trade intensities to determine a market's contribution to...

This paper examines the steady state properties of the Threshold Vector Autoregressive model. Assuming that the trigger variable is exogenous and the regime process follows a Bernoulli distribution, necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of stationary distribution are derived. A...

I extend Yan and Zivot (2007)'s dynamic measure of price discovery based on impulse response functions of structural shocks to a trivariate model with two common trends. To investigate price discovery for 7 Canadian firms cross-border listed in the Toronto Stock Exchange Market (TSX) and the New...

Based on regime shifts test with MSAR model,The paper estimates the MSVAR model to investigate the interactive relationships between stock market and oil price using monthly data ranging from Jan 1991 to Jul 2014. The results show that the volatilities of both stock market and crude oil price...
